Black Nemo
Meriden months stuck in Indian summers
And Dad's on the line, but I'm fine, here's the phone
It's floating away, going away on the tide
Crystallized wishes, like kids cried for Christmases
Ticking off lists with the pens and the fists
Before floating way, going away on the tide (running away)
On the back of a beast in a midnight charge
Down a broken beach, the little stars
They spin the sharpest shards of light on down (floating away)
To the mouth of the sea in the morning curled
In a cab on the edge of the world
The light's a fire of gold lying around
What, when you heard it say forward or furtive
Transferred through a person or mystical blur
Got you going away, floating away on the tide?
Through Bonner Road basements of "Pitfall" and "Cave-In"
Of crackling tapes, cross-fades when the song ends
I'm going away, I'm floating away on the tide (finding a way)
Down the bloody beach, with a burnt out cars
Salt-licked by the sea, those slicked-out stars
All screaming from a distant high remove (floating away)
In the fizzed-out snow of a cathode screen
I saw a broken ghost in an old soap scene
I let his dead and dreamy eyes follow my moves
I had a vision of everything hidden
But always around me, it fought me, it found me
While floating away, going away on the tide
Shooting through time with my eyes getting glassy
And lined while I watch seasons rocketing past me
They're going away, a little more every day, all the time
On the balcony in the brilliant sea, where all rivers meet
A voice spoke to me and said, "These things have just got to be
I don't know why", and I said
"Here's to the freeway flasher, here's to the desperate dasher
Guard him and keep him from crashing
On his tear"
I know you think you miss him, I know you think you knew him
But you were just passing through him
Light as air, he's leaving there
He's gone
And Dad's on the line, but I'm fine, here's the phone
It's floating away, going away on the tide
Crystallized wishes, like kids cried for Christmases
Ticking off lists with the pens and the fists
Before floating way, going away on the tide (running away)
On the back of a beast in a midnight charge
Down a broken beach, the little stars
They spin the sharpest shards of light on down (floating away)
To the mouth of the sea in the morning curled
In a cab on the edge of the world
The light's a fire of gold lying around
What, when you heard it say forward or furtive
Transferred through a person or mystical blur
Got you going away, floating away on the tide?
Through Bonner Road basements of "Pitfall" and "Cave-In"
Of crackling tapes, cross-fades when the song ends
I'm going away, I'm floating away on the tide (finding a way)
Down the bloody beach, with a burnt out cars
Salt-licked by the sea, those slicked-out stars
All screaming from a distant high remove (floating away)
In the fizzed-out snow of a cathode screen
I saw a broken ghost in an old soap scene
I let his dead and dreamy eyes follow my moves

But always around me, it fought me, it found me
While floating away, going away on the tide

And lined while I watch seasons rocketing past me
They're going away, a little more every day, all the time

I know you think you miss him, I know you think you knew him
But you were just passing through him
Light as air, he's leaving there
He's gone
